Meet Benevity

Benevity’s award-winning corporate purpose software empowers companies and their people to take social action on the issues and causes they care about. Through giving, volunteering, grant-making and positive actions, we help 940+ clients (and counting!) build better cultures and engage their employees and customers to create greater social and business impact. We’re also one of the first B-Corps in Canada, meaning we’re as committed to purpose as we are to profits.

You will collaborate with subject matter experts, Staff Developers, architects, and other product teams to make incremental progress, and to help come up with a path to move your products and teams there.

You will have exposure to a broad set of challenging technical and business problems to accelerate your career growth. Benevity’s engineering teams are focused on the hardest, most interesting aspects of delivering high quality software to global clients. As someone who wants to learn and grow as a leading engineer, having access to all of Benevity's products, teams, and platforms, along with the vast compute infrastructure, provides a unique opportunity.
